Rather unpleasant footage has emerged from Canada of a skateboarder trying to remove an obscenely large splinter from his leg after he face planted on a wooden surface.
The video, filmed in Calgary on March 18, shows the man's fall, and then features him using a pair of pliers to try and remove the wooden spike from under his skin.
The filmer later wrote online: "Me and all my homies were out street skateboarding in Calgary, filming for the Halfcut Supply video.
"It was crazy windy and I was running against the wind trying to get as much speed as possible when I tripped over my own feet and penguin slid across the wood surface."
"I had got up and noticed there was a suspect piece of wood sticking out of my jeans, I thought it was just stuck in the material and i went to pull it and my whole leg moved and I thought 'C*** it's in my leg'," he continued.
"All my buddies rushed over and removed the jeans and saw about maybe a half inch of wood sticking out.
"Mario had pliers so I grabbed them and just started to riff on the wood as hard as I could.
Eventually, I pulled hard enough and it ripped out, about 2 & 3/4 inch deep in the fat of the leg.
"I spent the next 3 days with tweezers and a switch blade pulling out all the left over shrapnel that was left behind."
